Artio have released their cover of Twenty One Pilots' ‘Hometown’ on streaming services.
The track was recorded for Rock Sound’s ‘Blurryface Reborn’ tribute album, released earlier this year in honour of the original LP’s 10th anniversary.
Speaking with us for the magazine, vocalist Rae Brazill said “When we were asked to be a part of this album, we were so excited! Twenty One Pilots have been an integral artist for us growing up. We approached it as a way to honour the local scene that raised us and the town we grew up in, with a simultaneous ode to them and all they mean to us. There are two samples of construction sites around Leeds City Centre in this song; seeing as we were reimagining ‘Hometown’, we really wanted to directly reference the grim north that we hail from. Hilariously, the lyrics of the song can be reapplied to the weather and culture of Leeds and West Yorkshire; and how we’re a rock band from a city of which the general populace isn’t even aware of, but we still rep Leeds nonetheless.”
